a new poll shows that mitt romney has actually lost a couple of points in the most recent poll, newt gingrich has picked up a couple of numbers. romney at 29%, newt gingrich at 25%, ron paul has picked up a lot of support there apparently at 20%, then all of the others, rick perry at 9, santorum at 7, he's lost quite a bit. jon huntsman at 1 %. and then there's undecided at 7. the big story here, very probably is, about how much some people in the field have actually lost points, including rick santorum, and the fact that newt gingrich appears to be running strong in south carolina. not that big of a surprise because he's from the south, from georgia. the former speaker of the house has been pushing hard. one thing i don't think we are ready to say is that these attacks involving bain capital and the business practices of mitt romney have any effect on this poll. it's not clear at all that that's the case. so watching the polls, also watching this location in aiken, south carolina. >> what's the mood like there? are people revved up to go? >> reporter: yeah, they are rolling in. you

lots of polls may be wrong, but every poll wasn't wrong and what -- that's what the romney folks were counting on. and it's partly understandable. a lot of these polls were baking in a roughly 2008 voter turnout. we sort of thought that was a once in a lifetime sort of thing. it turns out it isn't. as you said at the top, not only did president obama keep his coalition together, he expanded it. talked to a polling analyst today who had some shocking figures for me about ohio. not only was african-american turnout in ohio higher than in 2008, it was higher than the percentage of the population. and, wolf, listen to this. if african-american turnout in ohio yesterday had been what it was in 2008, romney would have won. so that really crystallizes how much demographics can matter, how much mechanics can matter in a campaign that has the resources, the skills to turn out every last one of their voters. here in virginia, voters were telling me that democrats in line were being checked in by an obama volunteer who had a tablet keeping track of their voters. the republicans i talked to, nobo
